Flexibility On Your Travel Plans
Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort recognizes the need for flexibility in your travel plans during this time of uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Westgate Resorts will temporarily be changing its rental cancel policy to “24 hour prior to arrival” (by 4pm the day before arrival). This policy change will be in effect until 7/31/2020. The travel period for this change is now through 12/17/2020. Policy update does not apply to group sales bookings. Please contact your group sales manager for more details.
What Is Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort Doing Differently?
Even before the Coronavirus reached any of the destinations where we operate, we implemented a detailed action plan that includes the following:
-
We adapt to our changing environment: Westgate Resorts requires that all guests & visitors to our resorts wear face masks while inside our interior public spaces, restaurants & retail outlets. For those guests who do not have one, face masks will be provided upon their arrival to our resort.
-
We are in constant communication: We have open lines with our Team Members to reinforce our personal hygiene and public area cleaning procedures in both guest-facing and back-house areas. All departments have implemented hand washing or sanitizing procedures, as well as hygiene protocols to take place multiple times during a Team Member’s shift.
-
We keep it clean: All public and guest areas receive regular and extensive sanitization and deep cleaning protocols with the use of CDC Recommended Cleaners and Disinfectants. Our cleaning staff has been provided with Disinfectant Wipes/Clorox Bleach Germicidal Wipes and Purell Surface Sanitizer for routine cleaning of all guest and Team Member touch points.
-
We make it easy to stay clean: Additional hand sanitization stations have also been deployed throughout our resorts and corporate facilities.
-
We are cautious: All Westgate Team Members who exhibit any “flu-like” symptoms have been prohibited from reporting to work until after they seek medical treatment and receive a “return to work authorization” from their physician.
-
We’re following travel protocols: All Team Members have been instructed to not travel to any destination that is experiencing outbreaks of the virus, and if they do, they will be subject to a 14-day self-quarantine.
